Definetly Ben. Have some more info on the skyline situation too (as posted by my wanted to buy post), he thinks I may have a collector gasket issue... It will explain the rich under boost and slightly lean on vacuum.

No one unfortunately has a metal gasket. John can't even order one as he's tried many VIN's and part numbers, all turn up being rubber gaskets.....

Ouch ... not good ... I had a close call this morning have a really shocking wheel alignment at the moment have excessive toe out on both the front wheels and it is causing major understeer at the moment and in this wet weather it allmost caused me to slide into a gutter near the airport on the way to work bloody scary feeling trying to steer around a corner and the car just keeps going straight

Rossco was that you that I saw driving out of Autotech this afternoon?? That was our S3, I was there dropping off my clutch :)

Sorry to interupt, but S3 as in Audi? I love Audis...there's an RS6 with my name on it if Lotto comes in!!

Yeah hubby drives a new Limited edition S3 with the recaro seats and stuff. Although I stole it on Friday and got in trouble for spinning the wheels in the wet :)

Nice! Props to a lady who enjoys sinking the right slipper into the firewall!!

LOL funny you shoud say that... I forgot which car I was driving and the clutch is so light - nearly got the left slipper straight through the firewall too!

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
